The leader of Yemen’s government, supported by Saudi Arabia, announced on Sunday the launch of a major military operation against the Houthis, a group backed by Iran.
This offensive aims to regain control of territories currently dominated by the Houthis.
The announcement comes as Houthi forces have cut an essential supply route to the government-held and besieged city of Taiz, according to multiple security sources.
